I appreciate the feedback. I have a contract to shoot events around town for the city. I was trying to not be too tight so as to provide context, otherwise they could have been anywhere. I felt like they came out ok but not great. I shot some at slower shutter speeds but liked those less than the sharper ones.
We also just had a similar event in daylight yesterday that I also covered but this time the competitors were kids. I think I liked those better for the light and the kids themselves. Here's a couple from that:

Sliding on rails isn't really something I have passion for but it's all the rage right now and those are the events I need to shoot.
